Selena
Gomez‘s
next
album
may
very
well
likely
be
her
last.
This
week,
the
pop
artist
announced
her
tentative
plans
to
“retire”
from
music
so
that
she
could
focus
on
acting.
Speaking
to
hosts
Jason
Bateman,
Sean
Hayes,
and
Will
Arnett
on
their
SmartLess
podcast,
Gomez
spoke
about
how
she
had
always
found
it
difficult
to
strike
a
balance
between
music
and
acting
going
all
the
way
back
to
her
time
on
Wizards
of
Waverly
Place.
In
addition
to
the
busy
schedule
that
comes
with
touring,
she
noted
that
the
pressure
to
perform
and
do
multiple
things
eventually
took
a
toll
on
her
mental
health,
stating
“I
went
to
a
mental
institute
and
canceled
one
of
my
tours”
and
continuing
to
explain
that
“it
just
got
to
me
because
I
love
working
and
it
distracts
me
from
bad
things.”
She
also
noted
that
acting
has
always
been
her
primary
passion
and
that
music
was
originally
a
hobby
that
she
ended
up
turning
into
a
profession.

However,
she
noted
that
she
isn’t
retiring
from
music…..just
yet.
“I
do
feel
like
I
have
one
more
album
in
me,
but
I
would
probably
choose
acting,”
she
said.
While
she
didn’t
reveal
any
specifics
about
a
potential
upcoming
album,
it’s
likely
that
like
her
past
albums,
it
will
feature
other
pop
and
hip-hop
artists.
On
past
albums,
she
has
collabed
with
big
names
in
the
hip-hop
industry
such
as
Gucci
Mane,
ASAP
Rocky,
Kid
Cudi,
and
Cardi
B
as
well
as
major
pop
artists
such
as
Coldplay,
Blackpink,
Katy
Perry,
and
more.
